After coming out of the reception room, Lina looked at Jiang Fei.
"Do I have to live with you from today onwards?" Lina asked, looking straight into Jiang Fei's eyes.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"Then what do you want me to do? Become your lover? Pet? Or slave? " Lina asked with a calm expression, as if she was not talking about her own fate, but someone else's.
"We are just living together. This is the consul's condition for you to be released. He wants me to keep you by my side, or else he will kill you," Jiang Fei said truthfully.
"I understand." Lina nodded. She was so smart, how could she not understand the consul's thoughts? Although the consul had shown absolute trust in Jiang Fei, how could he not test him?
"That's good. When the time comes, you can stay at my house. Although I won't restrict your freedom, you'd better not go out too much. The consul will definitely push all the blame onto you and your daughter. You might not know this from prison, but the entire city was in an economic crisis. During that time, starving people were everywhere, and the wealth of the rich had also plummeted. So, everyone hates you and your daughter. If you go out on the streets alone, I'm afraid that someone will harm you," Jiang Fei warned.
"I know." Lina nodded, then she stared into Jiang Fei's eyes and asked, "Don't you have any other requests?"
"What requests?" Jiang Fei asked.
"I eat and live with you. Don't you want to charge me some interest? For example, you want me to sleep with you? "Lina asked expressionlessly.
"No need." Jiang Fei shrugged.
"Am I not beautiful?" Lina asked.
"Beautiful, very beautiful," Jiang Fei said.
"I'm really starting to doubt your sexual orientation now," Lina said.
"Don't make wild guesses. Anyway, I have no intention of crossing the line. You can rest assured about this," Jiang Fei said.
"What if I want to?" Lina asked.
"I don't want to," Jiang Fei refused directly.
"…" Lina did not say anything else. She just followed Jiang Fei obediently and returned to the residence on Crystal Street.
"This is my home. You can live here. Just treat this as your own home. You're welcome," Jiang Fei said.
"Okay!" Lina nodded, then sat down on the sofa unceremoniously. Although she was still wearing her prison uniform, her languid and relaxed appearance was still very alluring.
"There's food in the fridge. You can make your own or order delivery. I've left some cash on the table in the living room. Feel free to use it. I'm going to work now." After leaving Lina at home, Jiang Fei turned around and left.
Right now, Jiang Fei did not want to have too much contact with Lina. He had to give Lina some time to calm down and think carefully about a plan for revenge. Jiang Fei kept Lina by his side for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to reduce the Consul's suspicion of him. Secondly, he wanted Lina to make use of him. He needed someone to cause trouble for the Consul when he was not free. That way, he could focus on finding a way to get close to the Snow Beast.
After returning to the city hall, Jiang Fei went to the construction department to inquire about the reconstruction plan. The reconstruction plan was almost done. Now, the basic preparations were almost done. It was estimated that the ground could be broken in another two or three days.
Apart from the reconstruction of the Life Extension Center, the national road construction project led by Jiang Fei was also progressing smoothly. Ring after ring of roads were paved. It seemed that Jiang Fei had deliberately reduced the investment of construction vehicles in the construction of these roads. The purpose of building these roads was to increase the number of jobs so that the young and strong laborers could have jobs.
The main cause of social instability was that the young and strong had too many jobs. Such a group of young and strong people wandered around the market all day long. Moreover, they lived a life of not having a proper meal. It would be strange if the society was not chaotic.
However, these young and strong laborers were all sent to the construction site. They were tired to death every day. If they went home and wanted to sleep, how could they have the experience to cause trouble?
Moreover, once they had a job, they would have an income. Once they had an income, their families would be able to eat and live a peaceful life. Who would want to make trouble for themselves?
The people who struggled in hunger and poverty were actually very easy to appease. As long as they had food to eat and something to do, they would be easily satisfied. Only places with good conditions, where they did not have to worry about food and clothing, and where the government had nothing better to do, were places where unruly people were most likely to appear. The most frightening thing was that after these unruly people were spoiled, they would still ask for welfare in the face of disaster.

At night, Jiang Fei returned home.
As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of food.
He turned around the living room and came to the dining room. There was a whole table of delicious food. After a casual count, there were at least seven or eight dishes!
"So rich?" Jiang Fei was stunned.
"Thank you for taking me in. This table of food is my thanks to you," Lina said to Jiang Fei with a smile. Lina said to Jiang Fei with a smile. At this time, she looked like a new person. The prison uniform on her body had long been removed. Jiang Fei could see that not only had Lina changed her hairstyle, but she had also bought a few homey clothes. She was also very relaxed. It was as if she was not the one who had been sentenced in the morning and parted with her father.
"This woman is really amazing!" Jiang Fei thought to himself. To be able to hide the hatred in the depths of her heart so quickly and act as if nothing had happened, such a woman was really scary.
"You're welcome. From now on, we are considered a family." Jiang Fei smiled and nodded.
"Wash your hands and eat. Have a taste of my cooking," Lina said casually as she hung up her apron and handed Jiang Fei a hot towel.
"Okay." Jiang Fei took the towel and wiped his face, then went to wash his hands. Only then did he return to the dining table. At this time, Lina had already helped him fill up his bowl.
"This is my specialty." Lina used a pair of serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Jiang Fei. Then, she took a bite, seemingly unintentionally.
"Try this!"
"This is also very delicious …"
Lina kept picking up food for Jiang Fei. Every time she picked up food, she would personally take a bite. Although it seemed unintentional, the meaning was very obvious. She wanted to prove to Jiang Fei that she did not poison him. She had no intention of harming Jiang Fei, so he could eat without worry.
"Hehe, very delicious. Thank you." Jiang Fei laughed. In fact, he did not think that Lina would poison him. He knew that Lina would definitely want to kill him, but that would definitely be after killing the Consul. Before killing the Consul, Lina would definitely not touch Jiang Fei, because if she did not go through Jiang Fei, she would not even have the chance to get close to the Consul, let alone take revenge.
